what you think happened and what actually happened are two different things, thus leading to your confusion.

if your mech's armor values aren't ridiculously low for whatever reason, chances are its either a lag issue or other damaging parties you are failing to note. take some screenshots of after death reports with the phenomenon, or record a video, and then file a support ticket with it. Although I'm kind of interested so you can post them here as well if you like.

Are you sure it was only 1 laser, or did the death screen only list 1 laser?

The death screen only lists different weapons, so even 4 LLs will only be listed as one.

Also, was it a head shot? Got one last night in my Atlas with 2 lpl in the eye of another Atlas that was fresh. It would only show as 1 lpl in stats.

MCGRAL 18 no matter how you put it even 4 LL wouldnt core a vic even a trial one. Im a bit hot I know how to build a mech Im a charter member of Solaris7.com I build TT mechs in my sleep Im no rookie at this. PGI is no help so im calling out the founder of FASA Jordan Weisman and Smith and Tinker.

NO it was no head shot its just one LL from a stalker just one even if it was two they wouldnt core a 80 tonner not at full armor

4 or 40 would show the same thing.


Get a screenshot of the death screen next time it happens, and a screenshot of your mech. Front and rear allocation.

I read another post somewhere by a guy driving an Awesome, some rare bug to armor allocation was happening to him too.

Use the STRIP MECH tool in the mechlab, strip all armor from your mech, then save with 0 armor on your mech, then redo it all, save again.

This seemed to help that guy, give it a whirl and report back.

Also read about this case posted by Mister D, so try to strip the armour, save, add armour again. Good luck!

I've noticed DWFs grouping 2 ER Lasers with 2 Gauss rifles to devestating effect. I've been hit by it, and it looks like a laser coming - and BOOM you're gone. I've used the combo myself and have cored my share of mechs as well.

Like they say, you never hear the bullet that kills you.

there are Dire Wolves that boast 80 point Alpha Strikes FD. If that is Front loaded convergent damage... Not many Mechs will survive that.

Nothing since this rant.... I'm starting to think troll too.... Everyone is offering help and he's failing to provide us with screens to review. I'm all for helping people but sometimes I think we should get them some Valium too...

I have a very fast t1 connection so lag is not the issue

Just so folks know, while a T1 was considered fast back in ye olden days, a T1 connection is actually pretty slow by today's standards.

A T1's downstream bandwidth is only 1.54 megabits.
